Import assets

This article describes how a Workplace asset administrator imports assets using a .csv file in the Workplace package in Smart ID Identity Manager.

For more information about assets, see Smart ID Workplace use cases.

Prerequisites

The format of the CSV file must include all the fields in the data pool in this exact order (if not using a header):
CODE
```
CN,Name,Description,Category,NotificationEmail,CertificateProfile,Organization,CountryCode,DNS,UPN,ObjectSID
```
Leave empty fields missing, but the entry should still exist.

Do not leave blank spaces before or after the delimiter.

Example: CSV file

CODE

"app2.nexusgroup.com","Windows Server 2008","Asset to manage windows server information","Server","administrator@server.com","Certificate Profile Server P12","Nexus","SE","app.nexusgroup.com,app2.nexusgroup.com,app3.nexusgroup.com","upn@email.com","S-1-5-21-1721254763-462695806-1538882281-2605462"

Upload the CSV file on the server so that Identity Manager has access to it (if using Docker you must create a volume).

Step-by-step instruction

Import assets

In Identity Manager Operator, go to the Quick search drop-down list and select Workplace import assets using CSV from the drop-down list.
Click Import assets.
Click Upload to upload the .csv file.
Click Next to proceed with the process or Cancel to close the process.

If an asset already exists, it will be updated. All other assets will be created.
If an asset has status "pending" after the import, it means that the specified certificate profile for that asset does not exist. If this is the case:
- Select the asset with status "pending" and click Assign certificate profile.
- Click Certificate profile and search for and select an active certificate profile.
- Click Next. The asset is now in state "active".
